Course Information:  An invitation to explore the wonderful gifts of 16th century Carmelite saint Teresa of Avila. The title reflects her confidence in the loving presence of God and the wonder of the human soul. We sense that her prayerful experience and insights are gifts for each of us and for our times.

The course will offer a spacious mix of teaching, stillness and contemplative prayer, with suggestions for creative attention to the beautiful winter landscape at Ammerdown. Each session will include reflections on St Teresa, stillness and led contemplative prayer. Ian will also be sharing photographs and poems.
